If Texas Tech University campus operations are required to change because of health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible that this course will move to a fully online delivery format. Should that be necessary, students will be advised of technical and/or equipment requirements, including remote proctoring software. COVID-19 RELATED INFORMATION: Please also be aware of the Dean of Students COVID-19 webpage (https://www.depts.ttu.edu/dos/COVID-19Absence.php) as well as the COVID-19 support form (https://cm.maxient.com/reportingform.php?TexasTechUniv&layout_id=7) and mandatory COVID-19 report form (https://ttucovid19.ttu.edu/User/Consent). See Appendix A as well. Face to Face Attendance (in person): Due to social distancing only 1/3 of the enrolled students may attend lecture in person. The class will be divided into three groups. Each group will be assigned a day they may attend lecture in person (Monday, Wednesday, or Friday). Attendance in person is not mandatory. Students attending in person will need to sit with empty seats between them and other students. A seating chart will be made and students need to continue to use the seat they chose to sit in on the first day they attended in person. Face masks must be worn by students attending class in person. Do not attend class in person if you are ill or are positive for Covid-19. See Appendix A about what to do if you are ill. The class will be dismissed by rows to allow for orderly well-spaced exiting of the room using the designated exit door. Online Attendance: The other 2/3rd of the enrolled students may attend lecture online via Zoom or Congregate. We will try Zoom first and students will be notified if the online streaming platform is changed. Students are allowed to attend solely online. Lectures will be recorded and made available to students who may not be able to attend during class time or for review of covered content.

Course Purpose: Second semester of a thorough foundation course in organic chemistry. Learning Outcomes: Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: 1) Identify and predict reagents and products for the synthesis and reactions of alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and derivatives and aromatic compounds, including regiochemistry and stereochemistry as appropriate. 2) Draw detailed mechanisms for representative examples of addition or addition/elimination reactions of carbonyl compounds and of electrophilic aromatic substitution. 3) Integrate their knowledge of reactions to propose new or modified reactions and multi-step syntheses and to relate these reactions to pharmaceutical and medicinal chemistry applications. 4) Interpret NMR spectra of organic molecules. Assessment: The following methods will be used to assess the learning outcomes: 1) Graded Assignments 2) Midterm examinations 3) Final Exam Each of them will be graded as described in the grading paragraph. Graded Assignments: There will be 14 graded assignments worth 5 points each. Students will record their answers using Blackboard. The first assignment will cover pertinent material covered in CHEM3305. The other 13 assignments will cover content from the thirteen chapters we cover this semester.

Homework: -Students should read chapters before they are covered. -Students should work problems from the chapters covered to become more familiar with the course material. Specific problems may be suggested but will not be collected or graded. Exams: - Pay close attention to the above schedule. If there is an appropriate reason (including University sponsored events) one exam may be excused. In the event of illness see Appendix A. -Exams will be administered according to the exam schedule using Blackboard. -Exams will be proctored using Proctorio which will require a webcam and microphone. - Make sure you are available for the scheduled exams with a trustworthy computer and a sound internet connect. -There will be three Thursday evening exams listed in the above table worth 100 points each. -A comprehensive final exam covering both semesters of Organic Chemistry will be Tuesday December 8th. This exam will be worth 150 points. Grading: 14 graded assignments (14 x 5) 3 Wednesday exams (3 x 100) Final exam Total

= 70 points = 300 points* = 150 points = 520 points

*If the percentage of your score on the final exam is higher than your worst midterm exam, it will replace it. For example a final exam score of 120/150 is 80% and could replace a one midterm exam score if it is...
